Cat's Life Press - Queen Bee

First I want to thank everyone for their kind words and encouragement over the past week!! I have heard that a great journey begins with the first step..... I had been toying around with the idea of starting a blog to feature my paper crafts and this week was my "first step".

THIS ONE IS FOR THE GIRLS!!!

I wanted to share with you one of my favorite stamps. I found Cat's Life Press last fall when I saw this "Queen Bee" stamp. I knew I had to have her and add it to my collection IMMEDIATELY! (OK - I guess I'm a little demanding.) I created this card in blue (my favorite color), and then again in pink - to make it more feminine - she is a "Queen" bee after all!!!!

I can't decide which one I like best so here is both - you decide!!

I embossed the stamp in GOLD and added gems and pearls to confirm her regal status.

I added a little touch of blush on her rosy cheeks with a pom pom lightly swirled in glittery pink chalk. I hope you like them!

Hi I'm Jeanne!

A Kept Life

When I left my full time career job my husband started calling me his "kept wife". The name of my blog is a play on that expression, because now I capture moments in photographs, and create in color in my "kept life". I hope you enjoy - thanks for stopping by!
